Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes Tardieu-Laurent 2008

Welcome to Corney & Barrow Login

This is jet-shot plum in colour, richly-textured. The nose presents a blend of fresh and cocktail cherries, with hints of blackberry crumble. The nose is rather noble, intense and concentrated with delectable sweet old vine fruit to the fore, lightly peppered. This is an extraordinary wine, rich and supple with beautifully-integrated ripe tannins and a well-pitched balance - a very fine result.

Grenache/Syrah blend, 2008, Dry, Full bodied, 14.5%, Cork

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes Tardieu-Laurent 2008

"Scented and perfumed on the nose, with a gravelly texture on the palate and plenty of heat on the finish - better integration than their 08 Rasteau." 16/20
